Short Story
Help the Detroit Youth Concert Choir and Performing Arts Company (DYC) raise money for our building fund. The Detroit Youth Choir has had the privilege and the honor of rehearsing at various Detroit area churches for many years; however, with a growing choir, we need our own home. The endowment DYC received from the Detroit Metropolitan businesses and corporations and foundations help supplement DYC’s organization operating cost. Thank you in advance for your support and your blessings.
